Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reagent dispensing system for an automatic analyzer that automatically performs a qualitative/quantitative analysis of a biological sample such as blood, urine, or the like, and an automatic analyzer using the same. More particularly, the present invention concerns an automatic analyzer that uses reagent containers each having an information recording medium on which information about a reagent contained in the reagent container is recorded, and that is capable of reliably reading the information recorded on the aforementioned information recording medium while allowing the reagent-container mounting density per unit area to be increased.
  • the automatic analyzer that automatically performs a qualitative/quantitative analysis of a biological sample such as blood, urine, or the like, has become prevalent mainly in medical laboratories and large hospitals, since it can meet the expectations for improvement in the quantitativity of analysis result and the speedup of analysis.
  • the measurement principle of the automatic analyzer is to mix a sample that changes in color as a result of reacting with a component to be analyzed, with a sample, and then to measure the change in the color of the sample. Conventionally, the measurement of this change in color has been performed by a laboratory technician using a calorimetric table, whereas in the automatic analyzer, the measurement of the change in color is performed by means of a photometer, thereby achieving improvement in the quantitativity of analysis result and the speedup of analysis.
  • Japanese Patent No. 3274325 proposes to arrange reagent disks along respective circumferences of the double concentric circles, and simultaneously, in order to read the barcode of the reagent container on the inner peripheral side, this patent document proposes to provide a portion devoid of reagent in a row of reagent containers on the outer peripheral side, and read the barcode of the reagent container on the inner peripheral side, from the aforementioned portion. This method allows the enhancement of the mounting density of reagent containers and the identification of reagent by the barcode to be mutually compatible.
  • EP-A-0 410 645 discloses another example of an automatic analyzer according to this conventional art. Present claim 1 has been drafted in the two-part form in view of this document.
  • US-A-4 795 613 relates to a biochemical analyzer comprising plate-shaped measurement elements on which a sample solution may be dispensed for measuring a reaction.
  • the disposition of the reagent containers placed on the outer peripheral side is limited because of the necessity for reading the barcode of the reagent container on the inner peripheral side. If the reagent disks are arranged in double concentric circles, it is deemed that the aforementioned limitation is not so big a problem. However, if the reagent disks are arranged in no less than triple concentric cylinders in order to increase the mounting density, a significant disadvantage might be caused.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an automatic analyzer that is capable of mounting reagent containers at a higher density while using reagent containers each having an information recording medium for identifying a reagent.
  • the present invention provides a reagent dispensing system as defined in claim 1.
  • a barcode label which can record information intended for identifying or necessary to manage a reagent, is attached on a side surface of a reagent container for storing a chemical agent used for analyzing components of a sample to be analyzed.
  • a possible alternative way to read or write information is to provide the automatic analyzer with a recording medium that writes or reads information by an electric or magnetic method, or using a method combining these electric and magnetic methods.
  • Each of them reads manually or automatically information about the kind of reagent and information necessary for analysis from the side direction of the reagent container when a reagent bottle is set in the apparatus.
  • re-reading is automatically performed as a general rule in order to identify the reagent already mounted.
  • the distance between reagent containers must be reduced to a minimum.
  • a user when attempting to perform the re-reading of the reagent management information at power-on using the method in which information is provided on at least one side surface of a reagent container as conventional examples (see Figs. 4A and 4B), a user has no alternative but to once take out the reagent container, and after transferring it to another place, perform the re-reading of the information. This unfavorably requires much time.
  • a way in which reagent containers are arranged in circles, and in which a reading/writing mechanism is provided outside the reagent containers arranged in circles as shown in Figs. 6A and 6B, is employed.
  • the reagent container has a rectangular parallelepiped shape or a cubic shape
  • a reagent housing case having a circular shape would have much useless space.
  • fan-shaped reagent containers are used for some apparatuses. As shown in Figs.
  • a barcode reader which utilizes light, is used to read information about reagent containers disposed along the inner periphery.
  • the distance between the reagent containers disposed along the outer periphery must be widened up to a distance that allows the barcodes on the reagent containers on the inner peripheral side to be read. The above-described structure, therefore, reduces the mounting density of reagent containers.
  • Figs. 1A, 1B, and 1C are each a schematic view of a reagent container 1 for storing a reagent necessary for analysis and mounted on an automatic analyzer, according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
  • the reagent container 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape or a fan shape.

  • the reagent container 1 is mounted on a reagent disk 9 in a reagent storage section 21.
  • the reagent storage section 21 according to the first embodiment is shown in Fig. 2.
  • a plurality of reagent containers 1 can be mounted on a reagent disk 21 having a circular shape.
  • the reagent container 1 and the reagent disk 9 are thermally insulated by a reagent cold-storage chamber 7 and the lid 8 of the reagent cold-storage chamber 7.
  • a plurality of reading/writing mechanisms 5 is provided to the lid 8 of the reagent cold-storage chamber 7, and can read or write information that is necessary for the analysis of a sample, and that is stored in the reagent ID 2 attached on the top surface of the reagent container 1, by a noncontact method or a contact method through the use of electromagnetic waves, magnetism, light, or the like.
  • the information about a reagent that is necessary for analysis and that has been read by the reading/writing mechanisms 5 is sent to an information control section 6 by a communication line 16, and it is utilized for an analytical operation by the automatic analyzer.
  • the information control section 6 writes, into the reagent ID 2, reagent management information that has been occurred as a result of the present automatic analyzer operating and that is represented by the number of times of reagent usage, reagent unsealing date, reagent expiration date and the like, by means of the reading/writing mechanisms 5.
  • the reagent disk 9 rotates in the horizontal direction under the drive from a motor 11 for rotating the reagent disk 9, and transfers the reagent container 1 to a predetermined position that allows a reagent inside the reagent container 1 to be sucked by a reagent nozzle 14, or a predetermined position that allows information necessary for analysis and stored inside the reagent ID 2 to be read or written by the reading/writing mechanisms 5. As shown in Fig.
  • the automatic analyzer with the above-described features dispenses a sample stored in a sample container 30 mounted on a sample rack 29 situated in a sampler section 23 into a reaction cell 22 in an analysis section 20 by a sample probe 24.
  • the automatic analyzer then dispenses a reagent in the reagent storage section 21 into the aforementioned reaction cell 22 by a reagent probe 25.

  • the automatic analyzer has a transfer mechanism 35 for the reading/writing mechanism 5 in order to transfer the reading/writing mechanism 5.

  • the reagent disk 9 in this embodiment horizontally rotates under drive from the motor 11 for rotating the reagent disk 9, and transfers the reagent container 1 to a position where a reagent inside the reagent container 1 is to be sucked by the reagent nozzle 14, or a position that allows information necessary for analysis and stored inside the reagent ID 2 to be read or written by the reading/writing mechanism 5.
  • Fig. 8 is a schematic view of an automatic analyzer according to a third embodiment of the present invention intended for the reduction in the number of the reading/writing mechanisms 5 in the first embodiment.
